I have little faith in my country's data protection officer who is responsible for handling stuff like this. I had to deal with them while making a complaint about reddit not complying with the GDPR by not allowing me to remove upvotes/downvotes in a reasonable manner, and also after manually deleting all my posts and comments there were still 2 comments that show up on my reddit profile only if it is viewed "signed out" (i.e. from an incognito browser), but not while I am signed in to the account. There is no way to delete them from within my account. The reply I got from them after several months was that since there was no identifiable data in those 2 comments and since after deleting the account it would show up as u/deleted that my case was closed.

The incompetence of my government officials (more so than any other country) would be a laughing matter if I wasn't so angry about the whole situation.

tl;dr: My country's data protection officer and office is a joke and I have lost faith in them to be able to handle anything. I am considering going directly to the Irish DPO if that is who meta ultimately answers to.

This seems to work for now. Thanks

Where can I find a good example of a GDPR compliant email to request any and all my data that they have, to request it to be deleted, and to delete my account?

As a helpdesk guy, this type of issue happens with microsoft office just as often. People tend to memorise where the thing they use everyday is, and any update that changes where it is or how it functions "breaks" their flow of doing their task. We as technical people tend to simply have the skills to use a search engine to find out where it moved/how to solve our problem, but they dont.

While I havent been using libreoffice that long or as intensively as a government enployee would so I cant comment on if its the best OSS office suit for this situation, Im just happy they are starting the switch away from microsoft and CSS and finally waking up.

The urge to pat pat while still knowing Id get banned would be the stuff of legend

I was recently made aware of the concept of "rubber ducking". Maybe thats something you were doing without realising

I think MSF is a solely US thing, but there are for sure alternatives here in Europe. At least in my country to get a license you need to complete a certain number of hours with a certificied instructor, and they do teach different skills like body position, emergency braking, slow and high speed maneuvering, as well as eventually taking you out on the roads and practicing in a real commuting scenario.

One thing thats different (not sure if its not a law or its not enforced) is that each instructor will have different equipment. For example when I started lessons before covid cut them short right before my exam my then instructor would take me to a parking lot he had a deal with to use in the evening, and just had cones for exercises. My now instructor after I restarted post covid has a friend who has an events venue with a massive parking lot, cones, and even bluetooth communication devices for the helmets. So now we can communicate while im doing exercises and also while out on the roads... The amount of times I hear him in my ears yelling (in a joking way) "TRAFFIGATOOOOR" before I sheepishy switch it off is too damn high 😂

About the saving/extracting the already existing firmware from my keyboard, could you please give me a very general guide on how to do that, or at least point me in the right direction of searching this stuff up? Whatever path I end up taking, I guess having the default firmware saved is always a plus just in case something goes wrong in the future. As for the remaining part of your comment, I don't think I'll mess about with that too much. I already have fairly easy access to windows PCs at work that I can try this stuff with, I just prefer not having to rely on them too much for personal stuff. I do have ventoy with a windows 10 iso on it, but the rest of what you wrote related to that might as well be Chinese to me.

I went to the link you mentioned and saw that indeed my keyboard is compatible, but I have no idea how to proceed from there. I'll probably take the keyboard to work tomorrow where the PCs are windows and give the official software a try, but just for the future if I need it (or if anyone comes across this post and needs help), could you point me in the right direction to learn about what you said? As I said in my OP I'm completely new to this level of keyboard customisation so please be patient with me seeing as I know pretty much nothing about it.

Thanks though!

Some sort of community space, like skate park or exhibition. In the vein of art exhibitions, it could have sections for people to do graffiti

Thanks for the site! What channel are you saying to sign up for? YouTube?

Ive been looking for an alternative auto-pair plugin, so I'll check this out. Thanks

 

Hey everyone. I'm thinking of maintaining an iso for my setup once I have that the way I like it. I wouldn't publish it so it would just be for me.

How easy would that be to do? Would it just be a case of rebuilding the iso every week/month to get the updated packages in it, or is there more to it?

Thanks!

 

Thought it was interesting :)

 

Hey everyone. So I need to make a custom iso because I don't have access to the router from my apartment and my wifi antenna uses the rtl8192eu driver, which is not included by default. Hence, I decided a custom iso was the way to go. I don't want however to bloat it up, and since I'm making it on my laptop which is running Endeavour OS I can't trust the packages.x86_64 file in the releng directory to be the default plain arch install package list (following the archiso instructions on the wiki).

So what I am actually asking for: Before building my iso, what are the packages that the actual maintainers of Arch Linux would put in the packages.x86_64 file, which we would have access to from the live environment, that I should also include (plus the 5 packages I want to make sure I have, which is the custom part of this iso)?

How I understand it reading the install guide as well as a couple forum posts, the only truly necessary packages for an arch installation are base, linux, and linux-firmware. Correct me if I'm wrong please. After installing archiso on my endeavour os laptop I had around 130 packages in my packages.x86_64 file. Many seemed unnecessary.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Some screenshots which will hopefully help

 

Hey guys, I'm following the tutorial above, and in his video he doesn't do anything specific to show hidden files, but it works for him. My .config/nvim/after/plugin/telescope.lua file looks like this: I've looked up solutions but they all use a different syntax, and none work for me. Any idea how I can make the find_files command also show hidden files by using this syntax? Thanks!

 

Hey everyone. I would like to specify that I want to use GPLv2 only without including support for GPLv3 in a repository I want to create. Anyone know how I can do that through github's create a new repository interface?

Much appreciated

 

Firstly, I apologise if we are not supposed to request communities in here.

Secondly, if anyone is aware of a good active helpful git community please link it below so I can join.

Much appreciated :D

 

Hey guys! Is there a way for me to force apps to treat e.g. $HOME/.config/ as their default directory to look for settings? I want to clear up my home directory because its getting quite messy and I don't even have that many packages installed yet.

Also, any way that would be easy and efficient for use with git for the purpose of backing up my dotfiles.

Thanks!

 

If youre a sublem mod or an admin and you haven't checked it out yet, do so :)

A lot of us left reddit because it became too big-corpo'ey. Let's not let another big corpo into our space that we're building so that they can ruin it from the inside

Hey everyone. I'd like to let anyone who wants to use my themes/is already using them know that I pushed an update to the github, but I'm not sure what the best way to do that is without either making a single post somewhere and crossposting all over, or simply posting all over.

Is there any community where most server admins will see a post? Any other system to let them know? If you look at my post history a little you'll see that I had to make a post on both a lemmy.ml and a beehaw.org community to let people know whats up.

 

Hey everyone, so I wrote this post a short time ago, and now I have another question regarding the same repository. I would like to remove the themes that I haven't touched as I don't want to have to deal with maintaining them every time there is a Lemmy update. Is that something I am allowed to do? Is it considered a crappy thing to do to the other dev?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Edit: Of course I am clearly giving credit to the original dev both on here on lemmy, as well as within my code

 

This is the only community I've encountered so far where this happens. Its just text and not clickable.

This is quite a serious issue because I don't know how I will be able to keep up with all the other Arch linux users trying to tell me they use arch ~btw~, and I don't know how I will be able to tell them that I do too ~btw~.

 

Has it officially dropped from the devs? When can we expect this server to update so it can work with Jerboa again?
